Online Art Gallery - Paco Rocha Art

Online art gallery. Among paintings, sculptures and engraving,

I experiment with classical and contemporary artistic techniques, to tell you about my worldview.

My name is Paco Rocha and I am a mexican artist.

I experience my art as psychological therapy

It is my medicine, the way I can release intense emotions, impulses, and sensations.

Painting deciphers the labyrinth of my mind guiding the brushstrokes of the unconscious on to the canvas.

Paintings on canvas

Expressionist art

I delve into the depths of my soul to create something truly extraordinary.

When i want to go beyond reality i use an expressionist artistic painting.

The canvas becomes an immersive experience that reveals the intricate interplay between good and bad feelings.

Figurative art

I apply concepts like the golden ratio, balance, and the psychology of color to create mesmerizing works of art.

I meticulously craft every detail. Every stroke, every color holds a meaning.

My painting becomes a visual narrative, a window into emotions, experiences, and dreams.

Abstract art

My abstract art is deeply related to listening to Jazz music.

Musical notes spread throughout the room and my mind gets rid of any contamination.

I mix the colors, almost in a state of artistic trance, applying a series of automatisms that eliminate any possibility of error.

I create chaos in the canvas to turn it into harmony.

Illustrations

I illustrate my stories combining watercolor, pastel paints and inks.

I use these mediums to bring my ideas to life with vibrant colors.

I also enjoy experimenting with different natural materials, such as linoleum, leaves or feathers, to create captivating and natural textures in my paintings.

Engraving

Engraving is one of the first forms of printing, an ancestral technique that contemporary art continues to propose.

I studied engraving in Mexico.

Traveling to Japan and Korea I have been influenced by the minimalist technique and I have learnt different woodcut techniques on a wide range of woods.

Sculptures

Fantasy leaves abstraction and acquires consistency in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form.

The clay flowing through your hands, the smell of wood carving, the textures of oxidized metals, are a deep sensory experience.

Nothing has the power to inspire my art more than my travels

Trips & Art

From every country, from all people, i absorb colors, legends, traditions and dreams.

Along my artistic pilgrimage of over 10 years, i have met local Amazonian tribes, visited the holy cities of India, listened to the Dalai Lama in person and lived with local Philippine tribes who taught me about how to live without materialism.

I have painted inside temples, in the jungle and in places with a strong energy such as Machu Pichu.

In Laos I painted on the clothes of Buddhist monks using them as a canvas. In Peru i painted jaguars in the jungles and taught Mayan children techniques for painting on dried banana tree leaves and on palm trees.
In Korea i lived on the top of a tree and painted.

I will stop being an artist when I am no longer able to keep alive my sense of wonder about the world.

Exhibitions

I have held exhibitions in most of the countries I have visited: Italy, Spain, Korea, England, Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany and Mexico.

Traveling around the world increases my creativity. It allows me to continually make new discoveries and to transfer the different realities I know, onto canvas.
